NCR Corporation (U.S.) and Diebold Nixdorf, Inc. (U.S.) are Two of the key players in the Self-Checkout Systems Market

Self-checkout systems are the systems that are installed by retailers in their stores for enabling their customers to check out with the belongings they have bought without the need of a cashier. The self-checkout systems market is expected to be valued at USD 4.58 Billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 10.7% between 2016 and 2022. The growth of this market can be attributed to the ability of this system to enhance the customers’ shopping experience by reducing the checkout time and helping retailers in providing more personalized services at the store.

NCR Corporation (U.S.) and Diebold Nixdorf, Inc. (U.S.) are two of the key players in the self-checkout systems market. NCR Corp.

Apart from a wide self-checkout systems product portfolio, the company’s strong brand image and customer base are some of the other factors that have helped it gain a significant position in the self-checkout systems market. Diebold Nixdorf, Inc. (U.S.) is another prominent company in the self-checkout systems market. The company was founded in August 2016 as a result of a merger of Diebold, Inc. (U.S.) and Wincor Nixdorf AG (Germany). The strong position of Diebold Nixdorf in the self-checkout systems market can be attributed to the strong brand name and a wide customer base and product portfolio of Wincor Nixdorf AG.

(U.S.), ITAB Scanflow AB (Sweden), IER (France), and PCMS Group plc (U.K.).

The major players in the self-checkout systems market have primarily adopted the strategy of new product launches and product developments to strengthen their product portfolio and to expand the reach of their offerings to newer clients. For instance, in 2016, NCR Corp. (U.S.) launched “NCR FastLane SelfServ self checkout release 6”; this product has an integrated convertible option due to which it can be easily switched from self-checkout mode to cashier-assisted mode. In 2015, Fujitsu Ltd. (Japan) launched Fujitsu Impulse which is an automated assistant self-checkout system designed especially for convenience stores.

The self-checkout systems market also witnessed various partnerships, agreements, and collaborations by the key players between 2014 and 2016. For instance, in 2016, NCR Corp. (U.S.) and PJSC Magnit (Russia) announced the extension of their collaboration for implementation of self-checkout systems.
